Canon EOS Rebel G Film SLR Camera Kit with 35-80mm Lens

Excellent Camera, Easy Controls

WOW!! Canon has one another consumer

This review is from: Canon EOS Rebel G Film SLR Camera Kit with 35-80mm Lens (Electronics)
I have had this camera for over 3 years, since it first debuted. After all these years, the camera is still here. That has to tell you something. This is also a very reliable camera. I have had NOTHING go wrong with it. Also the camera has the ability to grow with the user. 3 years ago, I knew nothing about cameras. I was impressed with its auto functions. It has the abilities to go fully auto, for the non experienced users, to semi auto, for the semi experienced user, and fully manual, for the pro. The picture quality can rival the more expensive cameras. Much like all new cameras , 10 years from now, Canon will still be using the same mount, allowing you to use all your old lenses with newer cameras. Buck for Buck, there are no cameras out there that have the abilities of this camera. That is the reason why this is the number one selling SLR camera.

Full Featured - Easy to Use

I bought this camera prior to going on deployment in the Navy back in 1997 (I think). The camera was to replace my father's Minolta X-370 that I had used for years. I liked the available features and the price.The camera has performed admirably over the last several years. Whether used for astral photography or high speed/low light action it does everything that I need it to do and does it well. I've taken pictures that were nothing short of spectacular in many ways.The Rebel G's fully automatic mode is adequate for good pictures and shooting multiple objects, especially if shooting in a hurry. The portrait and close-up mode both work wonderfully. I've used this camera and the 35-80 mm lens to take pictures of flowers from about 8 inches that came out splendid. I've also taken landscapes from the top of Mount Mitchell and been similarly impressed.The automatic focus is quick and accurate, with a few exceptions that are easily compensated for... 5/5 AJ Starling (California) - See all my reviews

Photography (Canon Cameras US)

Great camera for beginners and amateurs alike

I purchased the Rebel 2000 after a couple of months of serious comparison shopping. My decision came down to the Nikon N60 and the Rebel 2000. The cameras share 90% of their features but the Canon provided 7 point autofocusing, 35 zone metering and a depth of field preview. You would have to spend almost $1000 to get these features on a Nikon. The only reason I even had to make a choice between the two was because the Nikon has superior optics and a more sturdy "feeling" aluminum body. The Nikon felt great in my hands and while I enjoyed the light weight of the canon, I was fearful of it's ability to take a beating. Then, I thought..."will i abuse my camera...NO...could an aluminum body handle a 4ft drop from my hands?...NO! So what's the difference. Don't be afraid of the alloy body! Some are under the impression that if it costs over $100, it should be heavy? Enjoy the freedom that these new products and the materials can afford us. The lens mounts hold... 4/5 Kelvin Lewis (Atlanta, GA) - See all my reviews

Excellent camera for beginners and the price conscious

The Canon Rebel 2000 is a fine camera for the beginner who aspires to take professional quality pictures. It is as full featured as many higher priced cameras, yet costs much less. The camera is quite versatile, allowing one to take pictures by full automatic mode (point and shoot). If one so desires, one can take control of the process and control every aspect of the shot, including flash, shutter speed, aperature, and focus. The camera also has several built in photo modes for automatic portraits, landscapes, night shots, and action shots. As an aside, the Canon EF lens that comes with this kit is a very nice lens that produces good quality pictures. There are many other EF lenses available that will fit this camera. An aspiring photographer will not want for variety of lenses.I have had mine for several months now and I love it. I used the camera to take pictures at my brother's wedding ceremony, which was outside, at night. The camera's excellent metering and... 5/5 J. M.

Passed the test and more

I had a few miscellaneous comments to make. I've had my EOS Rebel 2000 for only two weeks and already am extremely satisfied with it. The first roll of film came back and the photos are nice and sharp. The only thing I could have done differently in the photos was to use some exposure compensation--I was on vacation and was shooting wildlife at a beach on an overcast day, and even then, the sand was reflective enough so that the some of the subjects were a little dark and looked somewhat silhouetted.Happily, this little camera gives you manual control over shutter speed and aperture, as well as many other nice features, such as depth of field preview (which even the ELAN II lacks), and a respectable 1/2000th of a second top shutter speed. If you've been mostly a point and shoot camera owner until now, your fastest shutter speed will only have been about 1/500th of a second, unless you own one of the Contax point and shoots such as the T2, which go up to 1/700th of a... 5/5 Magellan "Magellan" (Santa Clara, CA) - See all my reviews, December 27, 2001

I had (and still have) this camera. 1st 35mm camera used back in the early 80's. I really had no idea how to use it, but setting it to M and using the camera's meter, had me shooting quite well. Too be honest, I took better pics with it, than I did when I got my digital Nikon D200.

Just a Basic Camera.

This review is from: Kodak KB18 35mm Camera (Electronics)
The actual pictures produced with this camera look fine. There is nothing special about the photo quality, and certainly nothing special about the camera itself. You have to advance the film manually. And besides a lens, viewfinder, and flash, there aren't any special features. But if you just want a cheap, basic camera, this one is a good one to go with.

This review is from: Kodak KB18 35mm Camera (Electronics)
I've been using this for 3 years. Extremely cheap, extremely basic camera with the Kodak quality. Runs for a hundred shots on a set of batteries. After some experimenting on a roll of film, you'll grasp the capabilities of its lens and flash and you'll improve your shots dramatically. Excellent gift for youngsters while teaching them how to choose lighting and subjects and the art of framing one's subject. You'll have no fear of it getting stolen, broken or lost by the child.

I received the product quickly and was very happy to see that everything mentioned was there in the box. I was a little skeptical about buying a used camera, but it's as if it is brand new. I am more than happy with my purchase! 5 stars because i found no scratches, shipment was swift, and it even included a CD guide to use it. Great product :)

My favorite camera

My first camera was an box camera that my parents had lying around the house when I was a kid. It took 120 film, and had no controls other than the shutter release. In high school, I upgraded to a that didn't take appreciably better pictures, but was more portable. In college I decided that I needed a real camera. Minolta made a 110 SLR at the time, which I briefly considered, but fortunately passed on in favor of the ME Super. This opened up the whole world of different ISO film, called "ASA" at that time. I experimented with super-fast and grainy Fuji 1600 film and incredibly sharp Kodachrome 25 slide film. You'd probably have to spend upwards of $20,000 today... 5/5 Larry Benjamin - See all my reviews

Wish They Were Better

These are getting so hard to find in stores I've had to resort to looking online. These are great for my 3 year old daughter to take the beach or pool since they are easy to use and almost impossible to break. I've gone through probably close to 100 in the last 7 years (we are big photo takers in my family, we live in a warm climate appropriate for the pool and beach year-round) and unfortunately as these become more difficult to find and more expensive, the quality gets worse and worse.I used to be able to get the full 27 exposures but recently I've been getting fewer and fewer pictures back. The place that develops my photos tosses out any photos that are all grey or all black, and that happens a lot with these. There's no flash so if its even a little bit dark you are out of luck. You need full sun and clear water for these to work. In a murky ocean you will get nothing. I've had these developed and gotten back only 8 pictures! The rest were black or grey. Usually I can... 3/5 Brynnlux "Brynn Lux" (Florida, USA) - See all my reviews, June 11, 2015
